This is a good book, good story, well written BUT. Why was Charlie Higson chosen to take on Ian Flemmings work? Why is it set in the 1930's. Danile Craigs parents where not born then? The modern James bond would have grwon up in the 1970's. Am I wrong. I think this is where Anthony Horowitz has come in. He has already wrote the Alex Rider series set in current time. Now he is writing the Jason Steed series set in the 1970's. So he would be a modern day bond that we now see on film. However Flemming people never chose Horowitz one of Britians greatest authors.
Back to Silverfin. No its not Harry Potter as some say here. harry Potter is better, this is good, a little predictable.

Perfect for any child wanting to draw their own cartoon characters, this is full of easy to follow, step by step, guides for a range of different pokemons. Only criticism I would give (and stopped me giving it a 5 star) is that it is a very small book - more like a booklet! Not quite the huge bargain (considering the small price) that I thought I was getting and more like a fairly priced, small guide. Great stocking filler.

I just finished this in a day after having last read it years ago when it first came out. It isn't as good as the first or last book in my opinion but it's important for the trilogy.
As a book in its own right, I'm impressed with how well Malorie Blackman manages to convey the feelings of Sephy and Jude. I really feel like I can empathise with the characters and it's extremely moving.
I read this straight after re-reading the first in the trilogy, "Noughts & Crosses", and I found that that helped the understanding and enjoyment of "Knife Edge". I'm not sure why but I just remember not enjoying it as much the first time I read it. It might be because there's not much of a main plot in "Knife Edge".
Plot: The kind BFG is the only giant who does not eat children like all the other giants but actually horrible snozzcumbers. He catches all the dreams and gives them to children. Sophie caught the friendly giant at his lovely act but she had to be taken because no one was to know of his kindness or even his existence!
An amazing fact about the book connected with the author: The BFG's friend Sophie was named after Dahl's granddaughter, the real Sophie. She was the only member of Roald Dahl's family whose name was mentioned in one of his books.
Another cool comment about the book: BFG was Roald Dahl's favourite character that he created due to his wonderful qualities including his kindness. Which of Roald Dahl's characters are your favourite? ... Read More:
